Data Science for Smart and

Connected Communities

Call for Papers

Smart and connected communities (SCC) synergistically integrate intelligent technologies with the natural and built environment to improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of those who live, work, or travel within it. These intelligent technologies, in turn, rely on mathematical simulation, statistical modeling, machine learning, and more generally data science to solve important challenges facing SCCs.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, machine learning and/or data science and smart and connected communities.

​

Research topics

We seek papers on data science methods with applications in SCC areas including (but not limited to):

public safety and crime

opioid and drug addiction

mobility and intelligent transportation

COVID-19 and infectious disease modeling

algorithms for smart sensors

privacy, transparency and fairness concerns for smart and connected communities

​

Papers will be peer-reviewed and published by IEEE in the conference proceedings.

Submission requirements: Each full length workshop submission can have up to 8 pages in IEEE conference format. We also will be accepting short papers with a maximum of 4 pages.

​

Detailed instructions for manuscript format and submission can be found at the conference website. Each paper must be presented by one registered author at the workshop. We do not require the presenter be the lead author of the paper. A submission must not be in parallel submission to any other journal, magazine, conference, or workshop with proceedings.
